Bill O’Reilly Blames Minorities For Violence In Schools And Elsewhere

Bill O’Reilly shamelessly race baited tonight as he turned what purported to be a discussion about violence in schools into an attack on minorities.

O’Reilly asked at the beginning why so many teachers (10%) are now reporting either being attacked or threatened by their pupils. But it was just a formality because he soon revealed his own theory:

This is a black school, a primarily black school in Philadelphia. Alright? Is there a racial situation.

...There are no white schools that we know of in the country where this kind of a problem exists to that extent.

...It is largely an African American and Hispanic American problem. That’s where the violence are in those precincts.

And let’s expand the discussion. In New York City, 80% of all the shootings in the nation’s largest town are blacks. If you add Hispanic shooters, 98% of all the shootings in New York City are minority. Less than 1% are white. So you’re seeing not only violence in the schools but then it translates out in the streets – almost exclusively from the minority precincts.

Later, he said, "The statistics in schools and in violent crime against African Americans are damning, they’re damning."

This is not the first time O’Reilly has tried to blame violence on minorities. Last month, he said about gun violence, “(I)f you look at the stats, it’s not about gun control, it’s about race.”

You’re absolutely right Dave. Junior is always feeding his audience of Archie Bunker Goobers. It’s always ratings first with Junior. I’d bet that this is just the way Dear Old Dad used to bellow about minorities back in Leavittown back in the 60s. What say you Junior?

He is just playing to his audience. I am sure his fans lapped it up. Remember, O’Reilly is an entertainer not a reporter. His only job is to say whatever will please his audience. Facts are irrelevant to him.

I didn’t bother playing the videoclip but I just have to ask were any “minorities” on the panel? It would be interesting to see how O’Reilly would’ve posed the question if some of FoxNoise’s “favorite minorities” (like Allen West and Herman Cain or Marco Rubio).

I guess he is embellishing crime statistics to get those figures. If this article is any indication, those figures represent bias in the arresting authorities, not an inate tendency towards violence in the minorities.
